They are definitely one of my favorites too! So stealthy

Thank you very much! I agree- underwater ecosystems make you feel like you’re on an entirely new planet! I hope you can get out and snorkel too!

This was the bridge at Chagrin River Park on the Chagrin River. It’s a great fishing spot! Tight lines!

Thanks Jj! I was surprised about the bottom of the creek too- it looms like the waterfall is scouring out the bed rock. The brook trout seem to like it!

Thank you for watching! I could sit there and watch the Brook Trout swim around all day long (that water is cold though haha). God bless you too!!!

@graham montague How long were you in the water?

Thank you for always supporting and watching my videos! Snorkeling is the best. Stay tuned for lots of snorkeling videos coming up!

@@stevepkrajcikiv I didn’t stay out there too long because the water was pretty cold (<65 F). Maybe 1.5 hours max!

@@grahammontague Did you have your wetsuit on?

@@grahammontague We need to snorkel one of these days dude!

Thanks Dad. You would have loved snorkeling with them too

That’s exactly where it is!!! Great spot and tons of wildlife there

We will fish there one day! I agree, mink are the best

Very nice! The causeway is a great place to catch them. I tend to go down to the second cut to avoid the people!

Thank you and dude I think you would like it! Next time we are in Oklahoma, we are doing some noodling

Thank you very much! Noodling is such a fun time and even better when you do it with friends!

No other outdoor activity can compare. Noodling is the best

Yes it’s so fun! Let’s make a trip to Oklahoma next year for it!

@@grahammontague haha yes!

I agree- I love those big flatheads too! Thanks Dad

Thank you for watching! Noodling is hands down my favorite outdoor activity- wish it was year round

Yeah you caught the most red efts there I have ever seen!

Yeah they are so cool and help blood flow!

I agree- lots of diversity!

I’m still chasing that dopamine rush when we had our 500 fish day at LaDue…

@@grahammontaguehahahhahahahha

@@mauramontague2569 ^that was Jj and I all day long!

@@grahammontague A day that will forever live in lore. You had to be there to believe it. Just nonstop fish in the boat.

Thanks Dad! You’re going to have to get out here and we will catch some smallies together!

I love how they let my feet be free!

I like the positive outlook Dad!

Haha I’m always trying to keep the viewers on their “toes” (haha sorry for the bad pun 😂)

I love the name Gizmo! Theres nothing better than watching a dog with the zoomies haha

Thank you so much! I love being able to share Vermont’s beautiful fish and love seeing them underwater in their natural habitat

Thank you! Smallmouth are so cool!

Thank you! I love smallies

@@JJ_Drones thanks JJ, you rock! I love those iridescent colors!

I love their colors! I can watch pumpkinseed swim all day long

@@grahammontague Sounds so awesome. Would love to view!

@@grahammontagueI'll bet! So coolio!

@@stevepkrajcikiv you would love them. They are found in Michigan/Ohio too!

@@grahammontague Hmmm. Interesting...good to know. Thanks buddy.

Finding spots to fish can be tough. My best advice is to go to the river at public locations (ODNR has public access location maps online) and look for anglers fishing certain areas of water. Be respectful to them and give them plenty of space but do not hesitate to ask for friendly advice on what they are doing (gear/bait/lures/rigs). You can learn a lot from other anglers on the water. This specific spot was at Chagrin River Park on the Chagrin River, Ohio. I hope you get onto some fish this fall/winter! Steelhead are a blast to catch!

@@grahammontague thank you very much

@@nikitavlasenko-e8h tight lines!!!

Thanks dad! It was a fun day but still not as fun as the time we caught all those pumpkinseed at Presque Isle!

Absolutely!! I’d also love to have them in a freshwater aquarium too!!! Tight lines!

I agree! They would make the perfect aquarium fish!

Thank you for watching! Mudpuppies are notoriously hard to catch. You should try minnow traps as a passive way to catch them. I heard baiting them with cat food/canned fish can be productive. If you are trying to actively catch them, a dip net is essential! Good luck catching them, it’s so cool that they are in your back yard!

Ok thanks for answering! It’s helps a lot! (I will try it and comment on another video if it works 👍🏻)

@@Rmanzelc I’m excited to hear if it does work! Fingers crossed!

I’m glad I removed it so that no fish could get caught in it! I agree- these had many black spots on them. I do think it helps in clearer water so they can blend in better with the rocks!

Moms make the world go round!

Haha very valid assessment, my mom lives far away from me so I couldn’t spend the day with her unfortunately. I make sure to spend quality time with her when I see her in person!!! She’s the best mom ever

Thank you! Tight lines to you!

Thanks dad! Those lures were dangling in the current so they could have been catching fish forever!

This spring! And yes! Amazing little river.

Thank you for watching! I love this creek- the water is so clear!!

You know it!!!

You know it! Adventures are better when shared with others!

Those trails were unforgiving… excited for our next adventure!

And don’t forget about having the right dogs too!

Thanks Dad! JJ took some amazing footage. Can’t beat a native brook trout!

It really put it into perspective how small we are in the world. In life, we worry so much about our own existence, but externally we are just a small blip on a rock. The drone didn't have to go very far to show that. No one else I'd rather be a small speck on top of a rock with than Graham!

I agree 100%! So much to do, so much to see!

Yeah Vermonts pretty cool unless you go around Burlington or Winooski or Rutland or even St Albans these days it’s just tweakers and fiends everywhere

@@WagonerVT bummer… I just try to stay in the mountains haha!

I wonder the same thing. I’m sure this dinosaur has been roaming this secret pond for many years. Haha bare foot is the best way to feel for them. Spoiler alert: I got leeches on my lips while snorkeling… just wait for that video!

Thanks Jj you rock! I’m amazed by these brook trout too! They are tough and beautiful. Haha I will never back down from an ice cream challenge

Thanks dad! You can’t beat a day catching smallies
